    Mushroom Swiss burger
    Bueniel K.

    Loved the burgers, beer selection, and outdoor atmosphere. Planning to go back here for post-hike meal when visiting the park again. Not too pricey for it being one of the few options for food around the national park. Timely service and fun employees.

    Hummus Wrap

    5 stars for ambiance and atmosphere. They've got lots of outdoor seating, a great view, and live music! There are a few indoor tables for when the weather's bad. Lots of beer and drinks options. 0 stars for everything else. The line is forever line and barely moves. It took 30-40 minutes to get up to order. (Imagine if you only wanted another beer!) We ordered and got fries as our side. Waited another 30 or so minutes for our food and when I went to pick up was told "we can't sell fries anymore" which I think means they were out.... But bad on them for not knowing when to stop selling fries before you ordered. I specifically choose this spot because the fries looked better than the other options in Ashford and I just wanted some tasty fries. I got the hummus wrap which was about 3% hummus and 97% lettuce greens on a stale wrap. My husband's BLT was meh. Overall fine place if you want to hang out outside and drink. Otherwise the food and waiting game experience is not worth it.

    After running a 5K in nearby Ashford County Park, I drove over to Rainier BaseCamp Bar & Grill to grab a bite to eat. I had come by here earlier in the week to check out the sports store that is next door. BaseCamp announced that they would be open for all of us runners after the event. This place has a nice chili vibe to it. Basically you order at the window and they buzz you when your food is ready. You can sit anywhere outside to eat your food. The menu at Rainier BaseCamp Bar & Grill has a variety of options that include burgers, pizza and beer. They also have vegetarian and gluten-free items. I grabbed a Mushroom Swiss Burger and a local beer to reward myself for a good run. They have big community picnic tables to dine at, so I was able to make a couple of friends while eating. I had a nice time here and it was a good way to end my week exploring the Mount Rainier area. There is very little WiFi in Mount Rainier National Park and it can be spotty in the areas surrounding the park. Rainier BaseCamp was a good place for me to stop and connect outline so I could get some work done. Rainier BaseCamp also has live music and other events. They offer meal packages for hikers and climbers if you are planning a big hike in the park.

    Ashford is putting its big boy pants on. They have a burger and brew place now, with outdoor fireplaces and picnic tables. A tad expensive. Burgers are fine but fries were sad and very mid. This place will thrive because demand outstrips supply. Decent patio.

    Gross pizza

    Cool vibes and location. Horrible food. We got a pizza. Super doughy, low quality cheese and sauce. Took about 40 minutes to get it. Won't come back even tho food is hard to find in this area.

    Rainier BaseCamp is a super cute spot to hit up after hiking in the area. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor seating and the atmosphere is pretty casual. We ended up getting the turkey and smoked gouda club to split as well as an order of the truffle fries. The sandwich was good and everything on it tasted super fresh. The truffle fries were also really good and heavy on the truffle flavor, which I appreciated. They have a selection of wines and beers which you can drink outside until a certain point. We sat outside while we waited for our food with a beer and it was a super relaxing vibe. Service was also really kind. We'll definitely come back here to try more of the menu next time we're in town.

    Where do the compostable containers go?
    Stacy S.

    Great spot for lunch after hiking on the mountain. We enjoyed our burgers (meat for him, vegetarian for me). On a sustainability note, it's great to have compostable service ware... but only if there's a compost bin to put the items in. Maybe reusable would be an option?

    Rainier Basecamp is a regular stop for us on our way down from Mt Rainier. The staff is awesome, the food is fantastic (umm... woodfired pizza after a long hike washed down with a beer? Yes please!), and you couldn't ask for a cooler location! The entire footprint for Rainier Basecamp and Whittaker's Mountaineering and Bunkhouse takes me back to the community atmosphere we had while living in Germany. This is my favorite hangout in Washington State!

    The location is fantastic but the veg burger and PB options were very disappointing. I gave three stars because the location is great!

    The food was delicious and filling. The service was very accommodating. I really liked the aesthetics of the basecamp.

    Had a pizza and watched Sunday football. Food was good. Seating is limited. Restrooms are next door.

    After waiting half an hour without service at another restaurant nearby, we were pleased with the fast service here. The food was decent.

    Keep driving to better pizza. It will be worth the wait…read more My son and I stopped in here for dinner after a day of hiking at Mt. Rainer. We were really hungry and the reviews looked ok. Big mistake. The service was cold and aloof and the pizza was expensive. I can deal with both of those things if the pizza is decent. This was not. The pizza had WAY too much cheese on it and hardly any of the meat toppings that were supposed to be on the pizza. I love cheese so for me to say that, it means there was WAY too much cheese. There was not much flavor to the pizza and there was way too much doughy crust. I have had better frozen pizza. My son and I both had a piece and called it quits. I brought it home to my husband who will eat anything and even he took a few bites and called it good. Also, they charge you for the box the pizza comes in. What? Keep driving to other nearby towns which have better options. Hard pass.

    I took my daughter here after riding the Elbe train while on a camping trip. We shared a full size…read morepizza and had leftovers to take back to our campsite. The pizza came out quick and was well prepared and seasoned. I felt the food and service are worth the price. Remember this is a small town establishment that thrives off tourist spending and activities. Be kind and patient with them when ordering as some days will be busier than others. This diner provides jobs to local residents and if you feel the price is expensive just remember it cost them MORE $$ to get their supplies delivered in a remote location via food carrier services.
